Chapter 542: Healing and Testing, Other Ways to Enter the Upper Realm

“This woman…”

Seeing Qiu Rong’s face shattered by Mo Hongyun’s blow, and him completely unconscious

, and Mo Hongyun’s face icy and seemingly unsatisfied,

everyone was shocked.

Tianji Fangzhu and the others felt a chill in their hearts, especially.

Knowing this woman, they must have harbored a deep resentment towards them.

If the City Lord hadn’t wanted to avoid further killing, their fate would have been no better.

After knocking Qiu Rong unconscious, Mo Hongyun didn’t let him go.

Instead, she unleashed another powerful blow, this time with even greater force, smashing Qiu Rong’s head.

Red and white objects flew everywhere, and a mid-stage Jindan cultivator died in a coma, feeling humiliated and miserable.

This scene made Tianji Fangzhu and the others’ hearts tremble again, realizing once again the ruthlessness of this woman before them.

As for the Canglan City Lord, his expression remained unchanged.

He saw a mere Jindan cultivator; death was enough, and since he’d deserved it, he didn’t care.

After Mo Hongyun killed the man, he said, “Have you vented your anger? Then come with your uncle to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Gongshu Yu is dead, and the Gongshu clan will soon get the news. I’m afraid they’ll send people down to the lower realms soon.

If you come with me to the City Lord’s Mansion, I can protect you.”

“Yes, uncle.”

Mo Hongyun didn’t object, knowing that now was not the time to act willy-nilly.

“But I need to clean up and deal with the Treasure House before I can go.”

“Okay, but don’t wait too long. It takes time to descend from the upper realm to the Lesser Cang Realm, but someone from the Gongshu clan will probably be down in a day at most. So you only have half a day to deal with the Treasure House,”

the Canglan City Lord instructed.

“I know.”

After giving Mo Hongyun his instructions, the Canglan City Lord turned to Lu Qing, “What are your plans, fellow Daoist?”

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Lu Qing.

It could be said that this turmoil originated from Lu Qing, and he was even the one who ultimately set the tone.

Yet, no one knew anything about his origins.

So now everyone wanted to know what Lu Qing would say.

Especially Mo Hongyun.

She was now completely certain that Lu Qing was the one who could help her break free from the shackles of fate.

Therefore, she was extremely concerned about Lu Qing’s next move. Naturally,

Lu Qing wouldn’t be so foolish as to reveal his plans in front of so many people.

He smiled faintly, “Junior has something I’d like to ask the City Lord. I wonder if I could also stop by the City Lord’s Mansion to bother you.”

“Of course,” Canglan City Lord said with some surprise. “It just so happens that I, too, would like to discuss Dao with you.”

The rest of the story was much simpler.

Mo Hongyun went to deal with the matters at the Treasure House, while Lu Qing accompanied Canglan City Lord to the Mansion.

This also served as a kind of escort for him, as Canglan City Lord’s current situation was not good.

If anyone with ulterior motives attacked him, he might not be able to withstand it.

As for Xiao Li and Wu Xing, from the very beginning, Lu Qing had temporarily enclosed them in the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

Ever since he had re-condensed the spirit within the Qiankun Yiqi Bag, the space within it had significantly increased.

Like the Lihuo Ding, it could now accommodate Jindan-level beings.

However, due to the limited spiritual energy within the space, Xiaoli and the others could only stay within, and cultivation was impossible.

Therefore, unless it was an emergency, Lu Qing would generally not allow them to enter the spiritual artifact.

Canglan City might be large, but for powerful beings like Lu Qing and his companions, this distance was nothing.

He quickly escorted the Canglan City Lord back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Master! Are you alright?”

At this moment, an old servant rushed out, looking at the Canglan City Lord, whose body was still covered in scars, with great concern.

“It’s okay. What were the losses among the guards?”

The Canglan City Lord waved his hand and asked.

The old servant’s expression darkened. “A small number of guards were seriously injured and unconscious from the backlash of the formation. The rest have suffered damage to their Golden Cores, leaving them unable to fight again.”

“As long as no one died, these minor injuries will heal sooner or later,” the Canglan City Lord said unconcernedly. “Take those outside to the Black Stone Prison first.

Then go to the storehouse and get some elixirs for the guards to heal their injuries quickly.”

“Yes, sir.”

After the old servant withdrew, the Canglan City Lord saw Lu Qing’s surprised expression.

He pondered for a moment, then explained, “Excuse me, fellow Daoist. The guards in the mansion were not up to the task, so I asked them to lead the formation and assist me in the battle.

I didn’t expect that a single backlash from the formation would leave them all injured and incapacitated.

Otherwise, how could those scoundrels from the Tianji Square have been so powerful before?”

Lu Qing suddenly understood.

He had been a little puzzled. As the ruler of Canglan City, why was the Canglan City Lord the only one to come out of the mansion to fight the enemy?

After he was seriously injured, no one from the City Lord’s Mansion came to his rescue.

It turned out that during the battle with the three powerful Yuanshen masters of the Gongshu family, they all suffered backlash from the formation and lost their combat effectiveness.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t bring many people with me when I came to the Xiaocang Realm. These guards in the mansion were all trained after I took charge of Canglan City.

Otherwise, if the elite guards of my Nangong family were here, how could the formation be broken so easily? “

The Lord of Canglan City said with some regret.

When he came to the Small Cang Realm to take charge of Canglan City, he actually had the idea of spending the rest of his life here.

After all, his soul tribulation was approaching, but he had no confidence in overcoming it.

In addition, some dirty things in the clan made him very unhappy. He

simply found a job and came to the Small Cang Realm to live in peace.

Therefore, when he came down, he did not bring many people with him. He

only brought a few followers in the Jindan realm who had been following him all the time.

If he had brought the elite guards of the clan with him that day, I am afraid that today’s battle would have been a different situation.

Of course, these things, Canglan City The Lord didn’t explain it too clearly, merely mentioning it briefly to Lu Qing.

After chatting with Lu Qing for a while, the Canglan City Lord’s Qi and blood began to improve.

He then pulled a jade box from his storage artifact and opened it, revealing a purple pill brimming with medicinal energy.

The aroma emanated, sending a shockwave through Lu Qing’s spirit, and his mana surged even faster.

He immediately knew this pill must be of exceptional quality.

The Canglan City Lord looked at the pill in his hand with a pang of pain.

He had originally intended to save it for the next Soul Tribulation.

But his injuries were so severe that even with normal recuperation, it would likely take decades to fully recover.

The Gongshu clan’s men could descend at any moment, leaving him with no time. He could only use this precious elixir.

After a moment of heartache, the Canglan City Lord’s eyes lit up with determination. He swallowed the elixir and began channeling his inner energy to dissolve it.

Soon, his pale complexion brightened, returning to a rosy complexion.

The scars on his body healed at a visible rate.

A quarter of an hour later, all the external injuries had vanished.

The Canglan City Lord opened his eyes, their radiance radiant, his previous weakness gone.

“The City Lord’s injuries are healed?”

Lu Qing was inwardly astonished. What kind of elixir could that have transformed the Canglan City Lord into a completely different person in such a short time?

Unfortunately, the Canglan City Lord had swallowed the elixir so quickly, leaving him without the ability to access its information.

“It’s not that simple. It’s just the external injuries that have healed.” The Lord of Canglan City waved his hand. “The injury to the soul is much more troublesome. It will take some time to heal.

But it doesn’t matter. By tomorrow, I will be able to recover most of my strength.”

“That’s great. Only when the Lord City Lord’s strength is recovered can we have some confidence.” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I have only cultivated for a few more days and have gained this much strength.

But it is you, fellow Daoist, who has surprised this city lord.

Gongshu Yu, at the very least, is one of the direct descendants of the Gongshu family’s generation.

He has survived the nine heavenly tribulations and condensed a flawless, top-grade golden elixir.

He has practiced the Gongshu family’s extremely advanced technique, the [Emperor’s Heart Sutra], and has reached the eighth level of the golden elixir realm.

His strength, although not unmatched among the younger generation, is rare in the golden elixir realm.

But you, fellow Daoist, were able to defeat him easily. From beginning to end, Gongshu Yu did not even have the slightest ability to fight back.

In the eyes of this city lord, you, fellow Daoist, are truly unfathomable and difficult to grasp.

I wonder where your master is and which world you come from?”

The Lord of Canglan City finally asked the doubts in his heart.

“Master’s orders are unavoidable. While I’m traveling, my master has strictly forbidden me to reveal his name.

Therefore, I cannot reveal my lineage. I beg for your forgiveness, Lord City Lord.”

Lu Qing didn’t elaborate on his origins.

“It seems your master must be a truly remarkable senior master, otherwise how could he have trained such a brilliant young talent like you?”

The Canglan City Lord wasn’t displeased by Lu Qing’s response.

On the contrary, he was even more certain that Lu Qing’s lineage must be incredibly powerful. It’s very likely that his master was some incredibly powerful Yuan Shen.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately concealed his lineage and forbidden it from being revealed.

“My master would be delighted to learn of your praise,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “I don’t take

it seriously. Fellow Daoist, please don’t embarrass me.”

The Canglan City Lord waved his hands repeatedly.

Just kidding! If such a senior master knew that a mere First Tribulation Yuan Shen dared to comment on him, who knows if he would be furious.

Although he was a member of the Nangong family, he didn’t want to offend such a powerful being for no reason.

So the Canglan City Lord quickly changed the subject: “By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu, you said earlier that you wanted to ask me something. What was it?”

“This is what,” Lu Qing’s expression straightened. “I originally wanted to enter the Tianyuan Great World for training, but after what happened today, I wonder if I can still enter the upper realm?”

“You want to enter the Tianyuan Great World for training?”

The Canglan City Lord was stunned.

He hadn’t expected Lu Qing to ask him about this.

“Indeed, the reason I’m stuck in this Small Cang Realm is because I don’t have enough spirit stones to pay for the journey to the upper realm.

Now that I have enough spirit stones, I’ve run into a conflict with the Gongshu family.

So, I’d like to ask you if I can still enter the upper realm under these circumstances.

If not, how can I leave the Small Cang Realm?”

Lu Qing knew that it was possible to leave the Small Cang Realm from the Starry Sky City via Canglan City’s teleportation array.

But he wasn’t sure whether the powerful Yuanshen Realm cultivator guarding the Starry Sky City would let him leave.

After all, he didn’t know if he had any connection to the Gongshu family. However

, in response to Lu Qing’s inquiry, the Canglan City Lord didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he asked,

“You want to enter the Tianyuan Great World, so you should know the rules of entry, right?”

“I understand,” Lu Qing nodded. “To enter the Tianyuan Great World, you must travel to Tianxin City, the center of the Lesser Cang Realm, and ride the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Array.

However, the cost of the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Array is extremely high, requiring one hundred mid-grade spirit stones per ride.”

“What do you mean by extremely high? That’s just a rule deliberately set to target outside cultivators like you,” the Canglan City Lord laughed.

“Although the consumption of the boundary-breaking teleportation array is not small each time it is activated, it is impossible to consume so many spirit stones.

If that were the case, even the top forces in the upper realm would not be able to afford it.

In fact, the teleportation array in Tianxin City only requires one medium-grade spirit stone each time it is activated.

The Xiaocang Realm is not far from the Tianyuan World, so the consumption of the teleportation array is not exaggerated.”

“Of course I know this, but I have no other choice but to follow the rules.”

Lu Qing knew that the consumption of the teleportation array could not possibly require so many spirit stones.

This became even clearer after he thoroughly comprehended the secrets of the teleportation array in Starry Sky City.

Tianxin City’s exorbitant fees were simply to exploit these outsiders.

But what could be done?

The Tianyuan Great World’s power was too overwhelming.

Its membrane was incredibly resilient, capable of isolating space, preventing even ordinary Yuanshen masters from forcibly breaching it.

His Void Boat was powerless to do anything about it.

So, even if outsiders like him felt bad about spending their spirit stones, they could only bear the pain of being exploited for the sake of the opportunities within the Tianyuan Great World.

“Ordinary outsiders naturally can’t avoid this problem, but Fellow Daoist Lu, you’re exempt from it,”

the Canglan City Lord said with a smile.

“What do you mean, Lord City Lord?” Lu Qing was slightly startled.

However, the Canglan City Lord still didn’t directly answer.

Instead, he continued, “Fellow Daoist Lu, how many spirit stones do we cultivators, originally from the upper realms, need to use the teleportation array?”

“That,” Lu Qing shook his head. “I don’t know.”

But Lu Qing knew it wouldn’t be expensive.

However, the Canglan City Lord’s next words still surprised him.

“Not a single spirit stone,” the Canglan City Lord said. “For those who have reached the level of our Thirty-Six Upper Clans, even if they don’t pass through Tianxin City, there are other ways to travel to and from the Tianyuan Great World.”
